Sponsor invite Fred Funk and 9-time PGA TOUR Champions winner is in Honolulu for his 24th Sony Open in Hawaii.

There are four, 50-somethings in the field this week but Funk is the elder statesman at 60 years of age. He proved last year, when a sprout 59-year-old, that he could still hold his own, posting a T42 with a pair of 65s book-ending rounds of 70-71. The University of Maryland alum's most recent win on the senior circuit was in 2014 and has eight PGA TOUR victories in 647 career events. He posted one top 10 in his last 51 starts on the main stage, a T9 at the 2014-15 OHL Classic. Previous to that, it was a T10 at this Sony Open in 2008. Jan 11 - 11:11 AM

Past champ Fred Funk takes advantage of a sponsor exemption to make his seventh tournament appearance in the OHL Classic at Mayakoba.

Funk won the inaugural edition in 2007 in a playoff over Argentinian Jose Coceres and did so eight-plus months past his 50th birthday. It was the last of his eight wins on the PGA TOUR and came during a transition year to the Champions Tour. It's no wonder then, that the tournament has shown an affinity to inviting Champions' Tour players back often. At 59 years of age, Funk will easily be the elder statesman in the field at El Camaleón GC and with Davis Love III a pre-tournament WD, will be the only player north of 50 to tee it up. He proved at last season's OHL that he can still deliver the goods however, posting a T9, his first top 10 on TOUR since the 2008 Sony Open. Wed, Nov 11, 2015 01:18:00 AM
